In order to avoid an overlapping with the carnival season, INHORGENTA MUNICH has responded by postponing the dates initially planned for 2017. Now the trade show will take place from 18 to 21 February 2017 and thus on a one-time basis from Saturday to Tuesday. By this decision, the organizers are simultaneously in conformity with the result of a survey in which customers from industry and trade could choose among different periods. Owing to its new exhibition concept, this year’s INHORGENTA MUNICH strengthened its position as one of the world’s leading trade shows of the watch and jewelry industry. 940 exhibitors from 33 countries and 26,000 trade visitors from 75 countries confirm its success. In 2017, INHORGENTA MUNICH will come up with another innovation: The trade show will not take place from Friday to Monday—as usual—but on a one-time basis from Saturday to Tuesday. As a result, the 44th INHORGENTA MUNICH will definitely open its gates from 18 to 21 February 2017. In changing the dates, the organizers take account of the result of a survey conducted among its customers from industry and trade. As a matter of fact, the majority of the respondents were against the initially planned dates owing to their overlapping with the carnival season. Simultaneously, they were in favor of a timeframe from Saturday to Tuesday.“After intensive talks with many customers and in view of the quite unambiguous result of the survey, we decided in favor of these new dates. The reason why we have done so is that our customers’ needs always rank first for us”, states Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. And Exhibition Manager Stefanie Mändlein adds, “Of course, we are aware of the fact that trade-show dates always represent a compromise unlikely to suit everyone. However, we are very confident that also next INHORGENTA MUNICH will be a real success for the exhibitors.”

Over the past months, we have invested a lot of commitment and creativity in the preparation of INHORGENTA MUNICH and intensely cooperated with exhibitors, visitors and partners. This constructive exchange has been fruitful. The new hall concepts, forums and accompanying events have convinced exhibitors and visitors alike. The mood at the trade show has been very positive, which shows us that we are on the right track. We are working on its further development for the next event even at his early stage.”940 exhibitors from 33 countries took part in this year’s INHORGENTA MUNICH, among whom many new exhibitors and exhibitors who have come back to the trade show after a period of absence.A brilliant start for the trade show: celebrities at the INHORGENTA OPENINIGThe 43rd INHORGENTA MUNICH started with an avant-garde event into the first trade show day. Hall B1 was an ideal stage for a jewelry and fashion show. Fine jewelry and watches of the exhibitors were presented to Europe’s most important jewelers under the leadership of style icon Nadja Auermann, model Cathy Hummels and her sister Vanessa Fischer as well as Ralf Bauer. Many celebrities could be seen among the audience, among whom the TV presenters Karen Webb, Funda Vanroy and Annemarie Carpendale. Subsequently, singer Lena Meyer-Landrut enthused the invited guests with a live concert at the INHORGENTA NIGHT at the Munich Club P1.Stable visitor figures StabileFrom February 12 to 15, 2016, some 26,000 trade visitors from 75 countries came to the trade show to inform themselves about new products, trends and developments of the industry.

The number of decision-makers on the visitors’ side has clearly increased.Professionals for professionals: a multifaceted Supporting Program provided important impetus Profis für Profis:Within the scope of the 43rd INHORGENTA MUNICH, the Watch Innovation Forum in Hall A1 and the Web Campus in Hall C2 celebrated their premiere. Both platforms met with a lively response from the visitors. At the Watch Innovation Forum, the focus was on smartwatches and wearables. At the Web Campus, international experts gave trade visitors an introduction into the topics of e-commerce, multi-channel marketing as well as social media, and shed light on their significance for future successful competitiveness.“With the Watch Innovation Forum and the Web Campus, we have picked up important topics that are relevant for the industry’s future”, states Messe Chief Klaus Dittrich. “As one of the leading international trade shows of the industry, INHORGENTA thinks “out of the box”, points to new challenges and communicates their solutions in order to offer all industry participants a sustainable added value. We have been very successful in this respect.“The last day of the trade show offered a tailor-made program for young talents and professionals, which received an enthusiastic response from pupils and students. On the first INHORGENTA Career Day, companies, associations and further training centers provided information on the possibilities of entering a career or of setting up one’s own business. Moreover, they reported on further training opportunities and financing options.“Exhibition Director Stefanie Mändlein is happy about the positive response received from both the exhibitors and the visitors: “The new trade show concept has been excellently received, the INHORGENTA OPENING met with a lively response and the events of the Supporting Program were much frequented. The great number of constructive talks during the trade show have proved us that INHORGENTA MUNICH is on the right track.

The universe of watches is nowadays caught in an interplay between intelligent high-tech accessories, traditional craftsmanship and inflationary replicas. The new Watch Innovation Forum of INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016 picks up on this topic by offering breathtaking lectures and an interactive exhibition space in the redesigned “Timepieces” Hall A1.“The fascinating world of watches has been an essential part of INHORGENTA MUNICH for more than forty years. Now it is being further strengthened in a forward-looking manner: The newly created Watch Innovation Forum in “Timepieces” Hall A1 is an innovative platform dealing with diverse contents of the watch industry.”Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München explains, “As in previous years, the watch industry will have to face a great number of challenges also in 2016. As a professional industry partner, we point to these challenges and accompany them. Replica watches are overstocking the market, smartwatches and intelligent accessories are increasingly entering into competition with classic timepieces. The new Watch Innovation Forum of INHORGENTA MUNICH picks out the risks and opportunities associated with these developments as a central theme, provides important impulses and presents solutions for the future.“What developments are shaking up the industry in the medium and long term and what are the consumer’s expectations? Answers to these questions will be given at the Trend Show featuring a variety of exhibits and background information from Frederique Constant, Alpina, Casio and Nevo, among others. “After a two-year break, also the Fossil brand with its “Connected Accessories” will return to INHORGENTA MUNICH and present its new collection in Hall A1,” reports Messe Chief Klaus Dittrich with delight.Top-class experts will be elucidating design trends, market tendencies and customer service management in their lectures. Besides describing the occupational profile of a watchmaker, they will point to the criteria that are nowadays decisive when buying a watch. The exhibition space also serves as a presentation stage for sophisticated innovations, technical novelties and explosive topics such as for example fakes. When is it allowed to refer to a watch as a fake, where are counterfeit watches being manufactured and what are the consequences for the manufacturers? The “Democratization of luxury” has led to a sales boom for replica watches. It is vital for jewelers to protect themselves against counterfeit products.The fact that a watch does not only distinguish itself by its inner values is demonstrated by INHORGENTA MUNICH in collaboration with the prestigious IDEA-Design office. A look over a designer’s shoulder reveals how a watch is developed at the PC and how 3D patterns are created.“Trend topics and a practice-oriented transfer of knowledge—there is no getting around the new Watch Innovation Forum of INHORGENTA MUNICH,” that is how Exhibition Director Stefanie Mändlein describes this innovative positioning of INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016.

Finding each other, entering into the bonds of marriage and exchanging eternal vows with the love of one’s life—all this requires the appropriate rings. Design and material are the most salient selection criteria for these unique pieces of jewelry: individual and precious creations of wedding bands and partnership rings—made of materials ranging from classic white gold to eye-catching carbon. The exhibitors of wedding rings at INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016 will show the wide range of this type of jewelry.From 12 to 15 February 2016, visitors of INHORGENTA MUNICH will experience the exclusive world of wedding rings in the redesigned Fine Jewelry Hall B1. Well-known manufactories like Fischer Trauringe, August Gerstner, Kühnel Trauringe & Schmuck, Rauschmayer, Johann Kaiser, Max Kemper as well as Wörner and Steidinger Ringe will present exquisite jewelry creations for the most beautiful day of a person’s life. These first choice craft businesses are members of the Initiative of German Wedding Ring Manufacturers. Besides high-quality production “100% Made in Germany”, they are focusing on the resource-saving fashioning of gold or diamonds. “First-class quality, exclusive design, a high wearing comfort and the consideration of individual preferences are important criteria when choosing wedding rings. We also attach great importance to sustainable manufacturing. Our exhibitors’ multifaceted collections offer an abundance of ideas and variations for every taste”, states Exhibition Director Stefanie Mändlein.In vogue: “Stack ’Em Up“– stacking rings one on top of the other!Stylish, eye-catching and versatile—stacking rings up on one finger—is one of the major wedding band trends. In the majority of the cases, it is a creatively extended arrangement of the engagement ring and the wedding band. For instance, a delicate wedding band can become a fascinating stacking creation by combining it with a solitaire and a memory ring. Fabian Meister, Managing Director of Meister GmbH explains: “In line with their symbolic meaning, the solitaire and the engagement ring stacked on top of the wedding band should be combinable to form a perfect union and merge harmoniously into one another, a requirement that is perfectly fulfilled by the rings of our classic line. Moreover, we are observing a strong trend towards symbol rings.”Personal messagesWe are important to ourselves! Bridal couples more and more frequently choose rings with symbolic power. Characterized by a filigree design or a meaningful width, these rings are furnished with engravings—either hidden inside or eye-catchingly shown on the outside—expressing a couple’s personal values. Since the guiding principle is individuality rather than uniformity, even one’s own handwriting or personal fingerprint may nowadays decorate a wedding band. Johann Kaiser Trauring und Schmuck GmbH has specialized in this trend, offering sophisticated engravings in different sizes and variations. Depending on the customers’ wishes, the words chosen to express love appear tastefully in eye-catching letters or in a gently flowing delicate script. Interplay of colors and formsThe purist beauty of white gold continues to be highly appreciated by the majority of the couples, followed by silver, titanium or steel. Michael Bentner, Member of the Board of Management of Roland Rauschmayer GmbH & Co. KG, affirms that white metals are very popular: “The trend continues to be towards classic jewelry in 2016. As regards the color schemes, all is permitted that pleases, that is both bi-/tri-color combinations and rings in plain colors.” Creatively put on stage by brands like Saint Maurice GmbH or Gerhard Kühnel e.K., soft, warm color shades, such as rose and red gold, set new highlights in the realm of wedding rings.Innovative materials like velvety black carbon will play a big role in the year to come, and combinations with gold or platinum are on many couples’ wish lists. In its FischerCarbon® collection, J. Fischer & Sohn KG, a well-known Pforzheim-based company, puts the emphasis on ebony-colored carbon, enhancing its matt sheen by creative combinations with yellow gold and diamonds.Stylish individualityLove binds together what is true and genuine—an aspect increasingly reflected in wedding rings with brilliants. The variety of smooth and matt surfaces as well as the fascinating combination of precious metals and high-tech materials mainly attracts a creative and style-oriented audience. In 2016, playful floral design is just as appreciated as clear geometric styling. Processing traces make the values of fine craftsmanship visible: rough surfaces, which may take on a patina over the course of time, rather than smoothly polished ones, are predominant. The “free union rings” created by goldsmith Marion Knorr are pieces of jewelry with a more distinctive character. It is always the philosophy and the history of a ring design that are unique, which not only finds its reflection in a title but also in a shape.The Diamonfire Bridal Collection offers an exquisite selection for every type of bride: ranging from the delicate pearl necklace conveying a decent appearance to the sparkling set up to the diadem for the bride who also would like to be a princess for one day.“For the retail trade, engagement rings and wedding bands open up a jewelry segment that attracts young customers and often binds them to the jeweler. There is a big chance that customers also make the choice of their wedding rings at the shop to which they are emotionally attached because they already have bought their engagement rings there“, explains Stefanie Mändlein.

The Internet with innumerable business models has also dramatically changed the jewelry and watchmaking industry and disbanded existing commercial structures. The future of action consists in the interplay between store-based retailing and unlimited online shopping. INHORGENTA MUNICH’s first Web Campus will show how this challenge opens up new opportunities for jewelers. From 12 to 15 February 2016, this new facility will set the course for an efficient online presence of the industry.“Digitalization is comprehensively changing our economy and society. Like all other sectors, the jewelry and watchmaking industry must deal with this situation. These changes, however, also lead to opportunities for trade. Owing to the many facets of multi-channeling, in other words, the approaching of consumers via different on- and offline channels, jewelers have the chance to meet lovers of jewelry and watches wherever they like to be: at the shop and/or online”, states Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. The first Web Campus at INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016 will show the options open to jewelers for optimum networking in the digital world and for establishing their businesses.In Hall C2 “Contemporary Design & Vision”, on the seminar area, experts in the fields of social media, e-commerce and future technologies will give lectures dealing with topics that open up a new perspective on the consumer’s wishes and needs for the jewelry and watchmaking industry.“Every company is different and has its own history and exclusive positioning requiring effective online presentation in order to exploit the possibilities offered by the Internet in an optimum way“, states Sven Suberg, advisor at Suberg Strategy Consultants. “In doing so, it is of decisive importance to build up an e-commerce infrastructure, thus envisaging further, creative sales opportunities also outside one’s own online business.” Dr. Jochen Schäfer, lawyer, will explain how to avoid legal pitfalls in connection with e-commerce using examples of particular cases. The constantly increasing importance of social media is a new chance also for the jewelry and watchmaking industry. Social media experts will pinpoint how to build up interesting Facebook and Twitter channels with the objective to tap into new customer groups. In addition, trend researchers will give insight into current and future technology developments. The theme of virtual reality, for example, has the potential to reveal strategically exciting, new sales options to jewelers. Following their lectures, the experts will be available in one-to-one interviews to answer questions and provide individual advice. Exhibition Director Stefanie Mändlein emphasizes, “We are proud of the fact that we have been able to persuade high-ranking specialists and experts of the digital world to take part in the premiere of the Web Campus at INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016. We see ourselves as bridge builders who provide assistance and valuable support in questions regarding the future. In doing so, we intend to ensure our industry partners’ success both online and offline and to propose concrete solutions to current problems.”

INHORGENTA MUNICH has been the international order and communication platform for jewelry and watches for more than 40 years. The trade show provides competent support to exhibitors and retailers as the industry’s professional partner. Based on this partnership relation, the Exhibition Management, in dialogue with the INHORGENTA MUNICH Advisory Board, has decided to admit exclusively trade visitors to the 2016 event, as in previous years. This step shows once more that partnership with the retail trade continues be a top priority in Munich. “Across all industries, there are regularly controversial discussions on the opening of trade shows to consumers”, explains Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. INHORGENTA MUNICH has closely examined this topic, which is also of public interest. “We would not like to follow the example of other trade shows blindly, but first and foremost take the best decision in the interest of our exhibitors and specialist dealers. In doing so, the framework conditions must be favorable and reliable in order to ensure optimum business performance and the security of the products presented”, continues Messe München’s chief executive Klaus Dittrich. After careful consideration and in consultation with the representatives of the Advisory Board, the Exhibition Management has decided to open INHORGENTA MUNICH exclusively to trade visitors also in 2016. “All parties involved once more had extensive discussions on the pros and cons in the Advisory Board. We have jointly reached the conclusion that the idea of a partial opening of INHORGENTA MUNICH to a selected group of customers would not promote the common objectives of Messe München, the exhibitors and the trade visitors”, states Stephan Lindner, President of the Federal Association of Jewellers, Jewellery and Watch Retailers and Member of the Advisory Board. Lindner continues emphasizing: “Partnership with the retail trade continues to be a top priority in Munich. This is true for both the exhibiting industry and the organizer. The decision of Messe München is fully in the interest of the retail trade.” As before, a lively exchange with the industry will continue to form the basis for all decisions taken for INHORGENTA MUNICH.

To round off this world of experience for exclusive jewelry, selected preciosities will be presented on the catwalk during a live fashion show. “A new interior design, art installations and exotic gardens, in synergy with the booths of our exhibitors, will form a unique trade-show experience in future,” states Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München: “Along with the lighting, we have also changed the hall’s entire color concept. Warm gold and bronze shades now create a perfect ambiance for the exhibitors and visitors of INHORGENTA MUNICH.” Moreover, the return of a few former exhibitors equally proves the fact that the trade show’s new concept is convincing. In 2016, the jewelry manufactories Schaffrath, Henrich & Denzel and Ehinger-Schwarz will present their first-class collections in Hall B1. Christian Schaffrath, Managing Director and owner of Schaffrath GmbH, and Heiko Nölke, Managing Director at Henrich & Denzel, unanimously state the following reasons for their decision: “We need a strong trade show of particularly high quality in Germany. We have had a lively exchange with INHORGENTA MUNICH and various industry representatives for some time. A considerable amount of work has been done behind the scenes and the trade show has developed very good concepts for the year to come. We feel that common strengths have been discovered on all sides and a greater mutual appreciation has been developed.”In addition, INHORGENTA MUNICH is expanding its fashion-show concept, which was successfully initiated in 2015. The elegantly swung catwalk in the center of B1 forms the heart of this Fine Jewelry Hall: Here, models will present new creations of the exhibitors to the audience at live fashion shows during which the jewelry worn by the models will be simultaneously displayed on large screens. Moreover, Hall B1 will be inspired by the jewelry theme “Wedding rings”. Exhibitors will show their collections and exceptional creations; classics can be found here just like the trends of the coming season. High-quality showcases in the central aisles additionally offer the possibility of staging jewelry highlights individually – a design element which is also reflected in the presentation of the watches in Hall A1.Generously designed lounges invite trade visitors in Hall B1 to stay and have informal conversations. Of course, visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy culinary delights: In future, they will be awaited by a new Käfer gourmet restaurant in an exotic setting. Thus, the redesigned Hall B1 of INHORGENTA MUNICH 2016 will offer exhibitors and visitors the perfect ambiance for a successful and inspiring trade show.

The theme of watches has been an essential part of INHORGENTA MUNICH for more than forty years.

After having been completely remodeled, Hall A1 features an optimum ambiance for both exhibitors and visitors.” That is how the new Hall A1 becomes a place for communicative encounters and inspiring exchange. The conceptual design of the halls is incumbent upon Stefanie Mändlein. As Exhibition Director of INHORGENTA MUNICH she is responsible for all measures leading to a more effective presentation of the important watch segment in the future. “It is indispensable that the brand environment is in harmony with the hall atmosphere.

INHORGENTA MUNICH presented the current spring and summer trends already in February, the collections of the exhibitors showing mainly one characteristic: opposites are prevailing this year. Intense colors form a contrast to subtle shades, just like cheerful floral designs to clear geometric forms. Bicolored variants are gaining momentum in the watches & jewelry segment and are increasingly accompanied by new material mixes.Trends in the jewelry segmentIntense colors and subtle shadesSpring and summer are the ideal seasons for adding a fresh touch shimmering in pastel shades: the color palette ranges from powdery rose and ecru to light green and blue shades to lilac. Many exhibitors of INHORGENTA MUNICH take up this trend in their current collections using color stones like tourmaline, rose quartz, chalcedony, peridot, aquamarine or amethyst. Intense colors like fuchsia, raspberry, aubergine, violet and petrol stand in an exciting contrast with them. The Stuttgart-based company COEUR DE LION, for example, uses certain colors in a very selective way. "We achieve the appeal of our jewelry by expressive colorfulness and clear design – this can be nicely seen in our new GEO CUBE models", states Jana Dannenhauer, Head of Marketing. Earthy shades are ranging very high on the popularity scale, too – last but not least because of the Pantone trend color of the year, the brownish-red color shade Marsala. Already a classic as a typical winter color, Marsala is now equally in vogue in the looks of the summer, yellow, white and rose gold adding a light and fresh touch to wine-red stones like garnet, topaz and ruby.Geometric design and floral patternsThe aesthetics of graphical elements and geometric forms is a fashionable evergreen. Here, the optical focus lies on minimalistic design which often has its roots in architecture – especially in the "Bauhaus" style. Graphically inspired pieces of jewelry become genuine statement pieces when enriched by surprising effects and combinations of materials. Creations by Ernstes Design, for example, masterly incorporate this philosophy. His passion for reduced forms led the founder and owner of the company, Andreas Ernst, to develop an unmistakable style: "In our collections, clear lines were an essential stylistic device right from the outset. The cool character of stainless steel as a main material perfectly underlines geometric designs. Suspense is aroused above all by conferring continually new forms of appearance to geometry through its combination with softer elements such as gold coatings or our silk wood.“ Romantic, partly colorful blossom ornaments, which are currently ubiquitous, form a clear contrast to the expressive properties of geometric shapes. Bernd Wolf, for example, shows filigree floral patterns in his current jewelry set "Summer dream": Inspired by the orchid, necklaces, ear studs and rings reflect the shapes of this tropical plant. "We see blossoms as a symbol for youth, sensual pleasure and zest for life", states Bernd Wolf. "Sterne des Meeres“ ("Stars of the Sea") is the name of the nature-inspired highlight collection of the Swiss jewelry manufacture FRIEDEN, which was presented for the first time at INHORGENTA MUNICH 2015. The most eye-catching feature of the earrings and the necklace are cultivated pearls melting into variegated flower ensembles.Mix of materials and bicolored looksBicolored jewelry is increasingly gaining momentum in 2015. Not only pieces in classic white and yellow gold compounds are highly sought-after, but also stainless steel in combination with rose gold or a mix of ceramics and silver. Compositions of blackened iron and yellow gold are especially impressive. There is a lot of experimentation and improvisation with new materials especially in the wedding rings segment. A few jewelry manufacturers have already discovered the deep black carbon for themselves. Its structured surface provides an extravagant visual appearance which is contrastingly accentuated by gold or platinum. At INHORGENTA MUNICH 2015, the Pforzheim-based jewelry manufacture Fischer presented its third wedding ring collection of elegant creations made of this resistant material. "For our carbon model, apricot gold in combination with the cool black of the carbon has turned out to be a strong-selling combination of materials", states Mandy Windt, responsible for Marketing & PR at J. Fischer & Sohn KG.Trends in the watches segmentSlim shapes and retro trendThe trend is towards decent elegance: Flat watch cases and graceful shapes are highly popular for ladies' watches. In the high-end segment, the timepieces are made of gold, often studded with brilliants. A good example: the new model of the "Diamond Wave Edition“ by EBEL with flowing lines and an elegant profile. Although models in rose gold continue to be as popular as ever, they face increasing competition from stainless steel in feminine shapes – preferably also in the luxury version with brilliant studding. In the men's accessories segment, the focus is on colorful models with sporty rubber straps, on the one hand, and on watches in retro look and classic golden timepieces, which are ideally suited to the formal business attire, on the other hand.Demand for quality "Made in Germany" is growingDuring its last edition, INHORGENTA MUNICH emphasized the importance of the quality label “Made in Germany”. A comprehensive overview of the topic was offered and well-known German designers, manufactures, manufacturers and precious metal refineries were presented on a separate special area. Currently, many watchmakers are returning to the quality label "Made in Germany". The combination of the classical art of watchmaking with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques is an important basis for manufacturing high-quality timepieces. Many work steps take place in Germany, from design to the mounting of international components to severe quality controls. Thus, workplaces and knowhow are secured in Germany. The price ranges of the watches are mainly between Luxury and Lifestyle, filling a gap in the upper middle segment. Companies like REGENT have set the precedent: Since this year, the watch brand has offered a "Made in Germany" line consisting of 54 wrist and pocket watches.

The offer of men’s jewelry is becoming ever wider and more diverse in 2015, as can be seen at Messe München: gold is the trend, just like opulent rings, amulets and watches. Classic jewelry creations meet extravagant statement pieces, and timeless design encounters material mixes. Heavy curb chain bracelets and opulent hand jewelry are the favorites of the season.“INHORGENTA MUNICH, to be held from 20 to 23 February 2015 at the Munich exhibition grounds, will present the current trends in men’s jewelry”, announces Renate Wittgenstein, Product Manager of INHORGENTA MUNICH for the forthcoming trade show. “Some of our exhibitors have specifically specialized themselves in men’s jewelry, while others reserve more space for this segment in their latest collections. This market has continuously grown in the last few years and, with the support of testimonials, is becoming more and more respectable.”The golden eightiesIn the eighties, men who wore gold chains were considered fashionable and chic. As motives, leopards were highly sought after, just like the golden Medusa by Versace. A lot has changed since then and men’s jewelry is pretty much in vogue these days.Prominent influencesEspecially male celebrities have made men’s jewelry socially acceptable, no matter whether eccentric or sober and unpretentious in style. When you think of Karl Lagerfeld or Johnny Depp, large statement rings, bracelets and chains come to mind. At the Sommermärchen 2014, the players of the German national football team presented entire collections of well-known jewelry and watch designers, and actors like George Clooney incorporate the classic gentleman look.Mix of materialsWith an increasingly wide choice, a man must decide on the look that suits him best. Following the autumn and winter trends in the watch and jewelry sector, two fashion trends can distinguished for 2015, in addition to the classic line: modern, clear design supported by materials like titanium, steel, carbon and ceramics, and the vintage look which is in close touch with nature and underlines the wearer’s personality by the use of wood, leather or stones.“Besides the steel and leather models in the collections, different rock styles, pieces inspired by steam punk and symbolic jewelry creations made of materials like silver and bronze are booming“, explains Irmie Schüch-Schamburek, trend expert and owner of the Trendvision trend consulting agency.Golden hippie timesThe latest jewelry and watch collections are also influenced by the era of the sixties and seventies, and gold is currently experiencing a revival. It is considered to be a clear must have: whether as a bracelet, chain or ring – all that glitters is gold. Likewise, the interplay between silver and black continues to be a popular combination that men prefer. “Here, the development that more and more men get enthusiastic about genuine jewelry is interesting”, states Irmie Schüch-Schamburek.Baroque influenceEccentric and extravagant jewelry wearers even now fully live out the trend in men’s jewelry. They do not strike up quiet sounds: the more visible the jewelry, the better. Evoking the Baroque era, rings cannot be large enough and amulets not sufficiently flamboyant.Classic loversIn contrast to the opulent pieces, many men continue to rely on jewelry that is sober in style and keeps a low profile as timeless classics. This is confirmed by Christa Kubsch, Managing Director of Gerhard D. Wempe KG in Hamburg: “As a jeweler with a rather classic line of products, WEMPE offers a multitude of cufflinks, ranging from sterling silver over stainless steel up to 18-carat gold. Time and when, a customer buys a signet ring, but that was it. Much to our regret, tiepins have become meaningless“.Outlook 2015One clear trend is becoming evident in the segment of men’s jewelry for the coming year: The market for watches, jewelry and accessories offers much scope for individual taste, and men do not only wear watches and jewelry because of their functional character but nowadays also in order to underline their personality.
